Typically samples are collected for 5 minutes from the indoor and ambient outdoor environment and 2 minutes from spatial cavities using a vacuum pump with a flow rate calibrated to a pdmary standard of approximately 15 liters per minute to obtain volumes of 75 and 30 liters, respectively. Airborne particles (i.e., bioaerosols) are separated from the air stream through inert/al impaction onto an adhesive_coated microscope slide. The air samples are collected in a sterile manner, sealed, labeled and submitted to a microbiological laboratory for microbial identification. The laboratory uses direct microscopic examination of the cassettes to identify the type and concentration of nonculturable bioaerosols in the air. The results include any airborne fungi, as well as any other airborne particulates (e.g., pollen, fibers, skin cell fragments or insect parts) that will be collected during the sampling period. 3) Surface Sampling Surface sampling can be used to confirm the nature of suspected microbial growth on environmental surfaces, measure the relative degree of biological contamination and identify the types of microorganisms and other biological agents present. Surface sampling is preferred over bulk sampling when a .less destructive method of sample collection is desired. It may be possible to collect samples from the surfaces of valuable furnishings or materials of sentimental value without damaging the original items. a) Tape Lifts TaPe samples are taken from visibly affected surfaces using clear vinyl acetate adhesive tape. At the laboratory, the samples are placed onto slides and stained to improve visibility. Analysis is performed directl via Ii.

COYNER The homeowner indicated the following: o A backup in the sewage drain to the toilets in the residence occurred in July 2005. o The sewage leaked out of the toilet and flooded the entire'residence to a depth of approximately four (4) to six (6) inches. o The backup appeared to be the result of a blockage in the main drain line. Atypical fungal growth was observed in the following areas: o On the building materials (trim, gypsum board walls, cabinets, vanities, etc.) throughout. The carpet, pad and sheet flooring had been removed from the residence. The following building materials were wet (ranging from 20-25% WME) at the time of our investigation: o Gypsum board in random locations throughout. o Sub floor in random locations throughout. o Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanity. The exposed earth throughout the crawlspace was wet. JAN 2 7 2006 © ETC Inc 2005 Donna Barry Fungal/Bacterial Presence Investigation 1625 Arrowhead Dr, SLT, CA ETC Project No. 08-05-300 Augus! 28, 2005 Page 4 of 4 3 The relative humidity throughout the residence (23-29%) was 'ordinary compared to 19% relative humidity in the ambient environment Outside the residence. Discussion Fungi/bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment, particularly in soil, and many are also part of the normal gastrointest~inal and skin flora in humans and animals. In nature they can be found in the a/r, on plants, foods, dry leaves and other organic material. Fungi are needed for breaking down dead material. And because fungi/bacteria are such lightweight microscopic organisms, they can travel through the air and get inside homes and buildings through windows, doors, HVAC systems, on persons, cracks or faults in the exterior, etc. Accordingly, there will almost always be fungi/bacteria present in the indoor environment. This can become a problem indoors, as molds develop from fungal spores when conditions for proliferation are appropriate and there is an available nutrient source. Many building materials (wood, wood products, paper, paper products, etc.) provide this needed nutrient source. Other materials that also support fungal growth include dust, debris, gypsum board, insulation materials, grease, fabric, carpet, etc. If these materials become wet and are not dried Properly or in a timely manner they are suitable for fungal amplification. Microbial growth in unoccupied areas such as the interstifials spaces or crawlspaces of a residence may eventually impact the air quality of the living space. 'Specifically, building pressurization relationships may Produce air movement resulting in the development of dissemination pathways from hidden microbiological reservoirs occupied area. The concern with this migration is that, over time, significant into an accumulation of spores may occur in porous materials such as carpets and furniture, and disruption of the buildup may result in occupant exposures. If visible microbial growth, unusual airborne fungal spore levels or a buildup of uncharacteristic fungal/bacterial genera not consistent with typical ambient genera have occurred in a residence / building, then it should be remediated, regardless of what species are present and whether samples are taken. For the reason that exposure to the atypical fungal presence in the residence / building may compromise the health of building occupants. Furthermore, the remediation process also requires reduction of moisture to levels that do not support microbial growth. RECEIVE D BY LISA M COYNER JAN Z ?

There is atypical fungal growth and bacterial contamination from sewage tainted Water on the bl~ilding materials throughout the residence. 2 There is an unusual moisture presence on building materials throughout the residence., .. 3 Considering the evident conditions (visible fungal growth, bacterial contamination, Water damaged/wet building materials, reported history, etc.) currently existing, it appears that building materials throughout the residenCe became wet from the sewage ba(~kup from the main sewer line and Unusual microbial contamination occurred. Therefore, we recommend microbial remediation to resolve the apparent fungal issues and that a qualified contractor perform the work. The contractor should follow all applicable guidelines and Protocol suggested by the leading occupational hygiene and public health organizations such as the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACG~H)i American lndustria~ Hygiene Association (AIHA), InstitUte of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

It is my understanding that the house had been flooded as a result ofwastewater intrusion caused by a blocked sewer main. The house was dry upon entry; however, the odor of the house was consistent with odors caused by both wastewater residuals and mildew. All furniture and floor covetings had already been removed prior to my entry. Site Description The site includes a single family house, approximately 860s fin area, built in the late 1970's. Un-permitted additional storage space is attached to the left side of the house. The Property lies at a topographic low-point in the neighborhood, and as such; was and remains VUlnerable to flooding, as the lowest and fii-st point of overflow, in the event of a blocked sewer main. The site is level with medium to sparse tree cover throughout the property. A drainage swale is located on the right edge of the property, draining to the rear of the property. No garage or paved driveway was observed. Foundation The home is founded on a monolithic concrete footing, with interior 4"x8" Douglas Fir (DF) g/rders spaced at 48"o.c. The floor plywood is 1-1/8" thick, spanning between floor girders. Screened vent openings were observed at the Perimeter of the foundation. The mud-sill was observed to be redwood. No insulation was observed in the crawl space beneath the floor. RECEIVED BY LISA M. COYNER The minimum distance meaSured between finished grade and the bottom of wood siding and framing was found to be less than 8" at the left edge of the house. The foundation footing depth on the fight edge of the house was observed to be in violation of the minimum depth below finished grade required of 18". The footing was' noted to be exposed on the fight edge of the house. No major cracks were noted in the foundation; however, exposed aggregate, also called "honeycombing" was noted on the exposed foundation at the rear of the house. No crawl space access was noted in the perimeter, and the minimum depth of crawl space beneath the wood framed floor was'n~ted to be less than 18". Framing and ConstrU c'tion The single story house is framed in 2"x4" DF wood studs at 16"o.c. The roof is constructed of manufactured trusses spaced at 24"o.c. Shingles were noted to be composition; and siding was noted to be 5/8" TI-11. Repair Recommendations The floor plywood should be replaced; as it has not been designed to withstand saturation without causing sagging and structural degradation of the glue in the plywood. Additional 2"x8" DF .... Joists should be added at 16"o.c., replaced panels. Joist hangers (Simpson, U28; as well as at boundaries of or equal) should be used with all new joist construct/on. Wall framing above the floor would have to be replaced, suspended or supported, during the floor replacement process. The floor plywood should be replaced with equivalent thickness of plywood; and be installed by both gluing and screwing the floor plywood to the newjoists. Screws should be placed at 6" maximum spacing at the edges; and 12" maximum interior screw spacing. The girders have not been structurally damaged by the flooding. New R30 insulation should be added beneath the floor. Utilities The installation of a flap, or check valve, in the sewer lateral; is recommended. STPUD would have to approve the device and installation. Such a device would help to protect the house fi.om future over-flow ofwastewater from a blocked sewer main. A'backflow prevention device like the flap, or check valve, should be installed in a vault, for access and ease of maintenance. An overflow point for the wastewater system should be established below the £mished floor elevation, when the house is repaired. RECEIVED BY LISA M. COYNER .JAN 2 7 2006 2 Pressure testing and inspection of the sewer lateral, by a local licensed plumbing contractor, familiar with South Tahoe Public Utility Distr/ct (STPUD) sewer lateral testing, requirements; is also strongly recommended.

Preview: A sewer back up occurred causing black water to enter the claimant's home. The claimant Donna Barry is the owner and the home is occupied by claimant Jason Simon. Date-Time-Place: On July 26, 2005, approximately 10:30 PM at 1625 Arrowhead, South Lake Tahoe, CA. Property, Damaee: Donna Barry: We were currently still at a standstill with Ms. Barry on her choice of contractors to proceed on thc repairs of her home. However, in an effort to be proactive and move this towards resolution, we sent her a certified letter (a copy of which was sent to you previously) stating that it is in her best interest to proceed forward on this claim and notifying her that any additional issues or damages that may arise may not bc covered. Her decision of keeping her home at a stop since the first part of August may result in denial of additional damages which otherwise could have been avoided. We have now received a formal claim and an estimate submitted by Ms. Barry. However, she is claiming damages totaling $127,966.08. Thc prior contractor initially chosen by her who has submitted an estimate and reviewed and agreed upon by us was $48,000.00 and an offer was made to her in this amount. Rejection of her claim is due to the claim she submitted for $127,966.08. We are recommending rejection of the claim amount but are still hoping to negotiate and resolve this claim within the 6 month time period. Jason Simon: Ms. Barry's tenant was living in the home at the time and has claimed damages to personal property and the need to be relocated to temporary housing. His personal property claim has now been settled. His temporary living arrangements have been resolved and hc has now relocated to a new home. Comment: As stated, we have been hoping to approach the settlement of this loss. However now that we are in receipt of Ms. Barry's estimate, we see that we are far apart and are hoping to resolve this claim w/thin the 6 month time frame of the statute upon rejection.

Donna Barry March2,2006 STATEMENT FROM DONNA BARRY Re: District Staff recommendation to reject my damages claim, for my losses due to black water sewage spill, in my property located at: 1623 Arrowhead Avenue, South Lake Tahoe, Ca. To give you a little background regarding my claim for property damages. I bought a small (864 sf) house in South Lake Tahoe in May 2002. I immediately remodeled the house, then after 6 months living there, I rented it out. My long term intentions were to eventually retire there. On July 26, 2005 there was a grease build-up/back-up in the main sewer line near my house. This build-up caused the entire neighborhoods raw sewage to flood my house for several hours undetected. As a result, my house is unlivable. The representatives at South Tahoe Public Utility District moved my tenant into another residence, paid his rent and utilities for several months then eventually paid him for all of his furniture and personal property losses. They have since then moved him from the temporary property and sent him on his way. I had been in contact with Lisa Coyner, Customer Service Manager at STPUD and her claims adjuster Leslie Borrego at Carl Warren & Co.. I was assured that my rents would be paid and all damages would be repaired. I set out to get the necessary estimates for clean-up, removal and repair/replacement over the next several months. All awhile letting STPUD and/or Carl Warren representatives aware of my progress via letters and calls. i did not receive an offer for $48,000. I received a settlement offer dated December 12, 2005 for the amount of $33,585.96 based on an estimate provided by Yonkers Construction. That estimate, in turn, states that it is only "to perform some repairs on some areas damaged by sewage backup" and that "this cost estimate is being prepared without the benefit of an expert report assessing possible hidden damages from sewage contamination." The letter admits, there are additional clean-up costs. Therefore this offer does not represent just compensation. My claim presented an analysis from Environmental Testing & Consulting for the scope of facterial and fungal remediation. Based on the scope of that remediation, First General Fire & Flood Restoration estimated the work would cost $25,535.35. The estimate does not include the cost to restore the premises. Myers Construction estimated the reconstruction cost to be $101,488.73, On January 24, 2006, I filed the claim for repairs with STPUD with all of the requested estimates attached. There 3/2/2006 was no total mount given as all figures/costs etc. had not yet been received by me. l'age 2 o~ 2 I did not hear from either Carl Warren or STPUD representatives, so I made a follow-up call on February 24, 06, I did not receive a remm call but did receive a letter dated February 21, 06 stating that STPUD District Staff intended to recommend that you reject my claim at this meeting. Of course I was shocked. I do not understand how the District could now "reject" my claim. I myself had absolutely nothing to do with the damages to my house. I was told that it "would all be fixed" just "submit my claim", of which I worked diligently on. My tenant was taken care of and now he is gone. I on the other hand have been left with a house that is destroyed. On top of that I have monthly mortgage payments and other reoccurring costs such as Water, Garbage, Sewage, Taxes, and Insurance all that I have been paying without the benefit of my rents to offset these costs. This damage is due to this sewage spill, which I was told would be repaired and that my costs would be reimbursed. Now that I l>ave provided all the forms, estimates for the repair and the clean-up along with my personal financial losses, I am being "rejected". I do not understand the moral or legal reasons for this response. I am pleading with the board to review my case, look at the estimates and costs I have incurred and I urge the board to "do the right thing", think about if it was your dream, retirement home. It may not be a large home on the lake but it is, or was, my dream. Now it is nothing but a empty, smelly, molded little house caught in the middle of a "decision of the STPUD staffers" who now want to "reject me". Please use your sense of morality, honesty and integrity and at least look at my claim, I am only asking for the necessary repairs and reimbursement of the losses and expenses I have endured. If you only knew just how much time, effort, and heartache that has gone into this ordeal you would not "reject me", you would fix my house and end this heartache that I have been going through for the last six months. This board should not reject my claim. Under Government Code Section 912.6(a)(3). It can fred my claim is a proper charge but is for an amount greater than is justly due and allow the claim in the amount justly due and reject it as to the balance of the amount claimed. Under Section 912.40a) the board and I can agree to extend the 45-day period for board action while I provide your adjusters with more information. Thank you for listening and giving me this opportunity to express my opinions. Sincerely, Donna Barry Property Owner I request this document to be added to the meeting minutes and as a permanent record of my views and requests expressed here today. 3/2/2006 South Tahoe Public Utility District General Manager Richard H..%lbrig Tom Comt.¢ James I~..

DISCUSSION: During the February 16, 2006, Board meeting, District staff recom- mended, and the Board approved, the selection of Carollo Engineers to conduct the Arsenic Treatment Study, based on submittal of the best overall proposal, offering the strongest project team in terms of completeness, professional qualifications, relevant permitted experience, cost analysis, evaluating operations and maintenance issues, related to arsenic treatment systems. Upon Board approval, staff reviewed the January 31, 2006, cost proposal received to conduct this work. Following this review, staff met with Carollo Engineers on February 17, 2006, and requested that the project approach, outlined in the cost proposal, be performed in two phases. Phase I to include those tasks required to complete a California Department of Health Services (CaDHS) - approved protocol for selected treatment system(s) pilot testing, at either Arrowhead No. 3 or Bakersfield well sites. Phase II to include performance of the pilot test and completion of a CaDHS - approved engineering pre-design report for the recommended arsenic treatment system. Sub-dividing the project into two phases will allow staff to better identify and manage project costs. In response to this request, Carollo Engineers submitted a revised proposal. Staff recommends that the Board approve the revised proposal as submitted.

The District will identify the well site selected for arsenic treatment during Phase I. The services detailed in this exhibit (Phase I) will be followed by subsequent pilot testing and predesign work (Phase 2). The existing well controls and treatment facilities at the Arrowhead Well No. 3 and Bakersfield Well sites both utilize a HiPOx system to remove MTBE in the groundwater. Phase I work will examine the feasibility of building a new arsenic treatment system while maintaining existing MTBE removal capabilities at either the Arrowhead Well No. 3 or Bakersfield Well sites. The arsenic concentration in the raw water at the Bakersfield Well averages approximately 0.012 mg/L. The arsenic concentration in the raw water at the Arrowhead Well No. 3 averages approximately 0.013 mg/L. The new EPA (and California) Maximum Contaminant Level for arsenic is 0.010 mg/L. These engineering sen4ces are to be provided by Carollo Engineers (Engineer) as requested by the South Tahoe Public Utility District (District). The Distdct will identify the well site selected for arsenic treatment during Phase I. INTRODUCTION The existing Arrowhead Well No. 3 and Bakersfield Wells are located on separate locations, both sited adjacent to a building and a HiPOx system used to remove MtBE. Water produced from these wells may be pumped directly to the distribution system (i.e., no local surge or storage tank) or to the HiPOX system and then to the distribution system, following treatment to remove MtBE, using an in-line booster pump. Several arsenic treatment technologies exist which can be integrated into the existing system at either well site. In addition to evaluating the arsenic treatment process by itself, there will also be an examination of the pros and cons of locating the arsenic treatment system upstream or downstream of the HiPOx system at the site to be selected by the District. The Distdct has participated in a 2002 Amedcan Water Works Research Foundation (AwwaRF) which provided a priority ranking of potential arsenic treatment technologies for each of the District's wells. The work detailed in this scope of services will revisit this previous AwwaRF study and incorporate new information (e.g., new technologies and cost data) that has developed over the last 4 years. PROJECTTASKS The following Tasks are included in the Scope of Services for this work. Please note that this scope covers Phase I work including a desktop evaluation memorandum and development of a California Department of Health Services (CaDHS) - approved pilot testing protocol. Task I - Data Review February 21, 2006 H:'~D_S~~Icl Phase I~-IIBIT A._v2.d~c A-1 The Engineer will collect and analyze existing water quality, operating system and other relevant data from the District for the selected well site to be used for arsenic treatment. Using this data, current arsenic treatment technologies will be evaluated with additional detailed provided (e.g., process schematics and conceptual cost estimates) for feasible treatment options. Impacts on system hydraulics will only be discussed bdefiy. A more detailed analysis of the impacts on distribution system hydraulics is not part of the scope of services herein. There will be one meeting to discuss the draft evaluation memorandum. Additional site visit(s) to collect additional data beyond that provided by the District is not included. The work to be completed under this task includes: · Development of an arsenic treatment evaluation report for either the Arrowhead Well No. 3 or Bakersfield Well (Technical Memorandum No. I [TM 1]). A Draft and Final TM 1 will be produced. · Project Meeting to discuss Draft TM 1. Task 2 - Protocol Development The Engineer will develop a pilot testing protocol based on final recommendations in TM 1. The protocol will be submitted to the District for review, and changes made to the draft before submitting the final protocol to CaDHS. There is one meeting anticipated for Task 2 to review the protocols, District testing responsibilities, and testing recommendations. The work to be completed under this task includes: · Development of a Drafft-draft and Draft-Final Pilot Testing Protocol. · Project Meeting to discuss Draft-draft Pilot Testing Protocol. · Development of a CaDHS-approved Final Pilot Testing Protocol.
